LockIn MCP is the first distraction block built for the AI agent era. Rather than using a bypassable Chrome extension, you now just tell your favourite agent to block distractions for you, and it can do it natively. No bypassing, pure focus.
Nice use of MCP for focus mode. The thing I’d want most for a hosts-file blocker is a clear recovery path: show the exact domains changed, the scheduled unblock time, and a one-command restore if the agent/session dies.
For agent workflows, task-scoped blocks feel safer than global “go demon mode”: block X/YouTube while a specific coding task is open, then require the agent to report what it restored. That makes it feel less like a trap and more like a reversible focus contract.
This is exactly the kind of MCP-native tool I've been wanting — no more willpower battles with browser extensions.
One use case I'd love: conditional unblocking tied to my actual dev workflow. Like "keep GitHub/Twitter blocked until my CI passes" or "unlock HN only after I close 3 Linear tickets."
Have you thought about integrating with GitHub Actions / Linear webhooks as unblock triggers? That would turn it from a timer-based blocker into a goal-based gatekeeper.
Great launch 🚀
The hosts-file move is the actual unlock, every extension-based blocker dies the second you remember you can just toggle it off. And triggering it from an MCP command is smart, you're already in the agent so there's no dashboard to open and "accidentally" get sucked into. For demon mode I usually just full-screen one window and kill every tab, but I bypass my own willpower constantly, so something I can't easily undo is the real appeal here. Building on MCP myself, good to see more land in that space 👊

@dmitry_petrakov Thanks for the support! MCP is definitely the future especially with agents like Poke living in iMessage these days...
Really like the idea of moving focus controls into the same workflow as the AI agent instead of another app or browser extension.
One feature I'd love to see is task-based automation. For example, "keep YouTube, X, and Reddit blocked until my test suite passes or my coding task is marked complete." That would make focus feel like part of the workflow rather than something I have to remember to manage manually.
Loving the framing here, putting the AI in charge of actually blocking the distractions instead of just nagging me to focus is a clever twist. Most focus tools rely on me being disciplined enough to hit the button, which is exactly when I fail.
This should be so much higher! Literally the BEST distraction blocker I've ever used! Feels so much more natural than those other bs chrome extensions.
